Mental Health Awareness ● Sensibilisation à la santé mentale 3 Your impact Each year, the CPANB participates in an educational booklet campaign with the aim of helping New Brunswickers understand public safety issues and find help. To see past booklets, visit our website: www.cpanb-apcnb.com The proceeds from last year’s campaign allowed CPANB to grant funds to Woodstock High School’s Teens Against Drinking and Driving (TADD) initiative, the Chipman Youth Centre, and $10,000 to the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre for FamilyViolence Research. Proceeds from this campaign have allowed CPANB to make a sizeable donation to the Chimo Helpline, which provides immediate assistance for any issue, such as mental health, relationships, thoughts of suicide, resources in your area, and more.
